Visiting Seoul

Heres a few highlights from seoul.

Seoul is a mix of old and new, take for example the Bosingak bell tower, thats located in down town seoul, just 2 minutes from our hotel. It was built in the 14th century to signal the opening and closing of the city gates.
Since I was last here, they have dug up a stream that runs through the heart of the city. This liberated stream is a tributary of the Hann river and was long buried under roads and buildings. It certainly adds some much needed nature and water to the city scape.
One afternoon we trekked out to i-Park. Its a 8 storey tech mall that sells pretty much anything a techno geek could want. Each item has its own dedicated floor, I guess my favorite was the game and the mobile phone levels.

In between the walking, eating, shopping, eating, walking, shopping and drinking coffee, I tried to meet up with some of my relatives. I haven't seen many fo them for years so I was really looking forward to seeing them. My Goh-Mo invited me and the fellas to a noodle restaurant where we had an awesome 2 course soup dish. Ben, you've got to try it, Andy and I agree, its better than Pho.

I hope to extend my stay on the way back from Germany to see my Grand mother and some more of my cuz's. Overall, we were pretty well behaved and am looking forward to coming back.

We've gone pretty heavy on the upper cut motif, in honour of Guus Hiddink's goal celebrations.
